Keyboard shortcut - create points

ScottSweet

Is there a keyboard shortcut for creating points? I can't find one anywhere in the documentation. This seems like it would be the easiest shortcut to implement ever. Do I really have to use a different GIS software to avoid thousands of mouse clicks?

It isn’t easy when you have to click tens of thousands of times. I’d much rather push a button on a keyboard than click that many times. My finger gets tired! I guess I’ll have to use a different software if repetitive movement and health is not a concern of ESRI. Seems silly to not be able to incorporate something like this. I’ve tried deep learning to automatically detect the trees but no matter how I tweak the model it doesn’t do a good job at all in our orchards. So I’m stuck with click click click click…

Create point features

Keyboard shortcut	Function	Description
F6	Absolute X,Y,Z	Opens the Absolute X,Y,Z dialog box.

but I doubt you want to add the x, y values manually.

If you are creating the featureclass and hovering over a location, a mouse click would be easiest.

Thanks Dan,

I don’t need to create random points. I need to digitize thousands of macadamia nut trees in an orchard. So instead of clicking the mouse button 10,000 times, or hiring an intern to do so I’d like to be able to hover the mouse over the location I need to place the point and push the “p” character on the keyboard to create a new point there, for example.

Thanks,

Scott

If you don't care where they go, you can create lots with a few clicks....

but what would a keyboard shortcut do? bring up a tool? or replace a mouse click?
